Hardware Prototyping

Event Details

Trainer: Nicolas Gonzalez Garrido & Dr. Stefan Perkmann Berger

The aim of the workshop is to give young entrepreneurs an insight into hardware prototyping. Thereby, the focus is on how to make use of prototyping in an early stage to successfully develop a product that fits a problem or need in the market.

Furthermore they will learn how to come-up with an early prototype by themselves and understand how to use prototyping to test hypothesis, challenge assumptions and refine ideas. Key message is that prototyping allows us to fail fast, safely (controlled situation) and inexpensively.

Workshop Structure:

13:00 – 13:30: General Introduction (time depending on the amount of participants)

13:30 – 14:30: What is prototyping and why do we need prototyping? This part is about giving individuals a general introduction into the topic of prototyping and explain how prototyping can be used to reach problem-solution fit (i.e. coming-up with a product that solves problems or satisfies needs in the market).

14:30 – 16:30: Develop your first prototype
Participants will learn how to create a quick cardboard prototype to understand how to make a first step in developing their product idea and how to iteratively improve it.
They will also learn how to use the environment: Chairs, tables, etc. Basically anything that helps them to prototype the experience. Remember that products live in our environment, they affect it and can get affected by it.

16:30 – 17:30: From prototyping to your final product
